We had another great trip photographing wild horses in Utah’s West Desert. The Onaqui herd is unique in that if you are mindful of their demeanor, you can walk right through the herd and get very close-up, intimate photographs of these magnificent creatures.
I haven’t had much time to process the approximately 2,000 photographs I shot, but here are a few of those that I have processed thus far. The photograph of the two red stallions on the run is a combination of the photograph I shot and a process that makes the photograph look like an oil painting. It has a more “contemporary” look but still has details that would appear in a photograph.
Hi Greig,
I love the Photographs especially the two stallions. and the white horse as well, you’ve caught him in a great pose. May I ask where you stay when on your trips to the area? Do you camp in the area or is there a motel or hotel nearby?
Thanks for the Pictures
Jeff Riggins
Jeff,
Thanks for the kind words. The herd is 1 1/2hrs from my house, so I just drive out and back the same day. there is a campground out there (Simpson Springs). here is a link. I have never seen more that two campers at the campground so getting a spot should not be a problem.
Let me know when you plan on coming. I might be able to arrange to meet you out there…
Sincerely,
Greig
